Francis Hurt built Oak Hurst in 1848.The Johnson family, of the nearby Bridon Wire, had the house enlarged. In the early 1900's it was a retreat for the local Diocese, later becomeing flats in the 1970's, a venture that wasn't too successful. By the mid 1980's the company that owned it were bankrupt and it has been abandoned now for nearly quarter of a century. Inside is ruined, with floors down, and joists hanging precariously from crumbling walls. Rumours of a haunting today proved unfounded.
Another view of our 100 year old mangle .It is going to be restored to its former glory.So far ,just the wooden tray has been replaced.!.It`s now being used as a garden ornament and is doubtful if it will ever be used again.A bit sad.
A close up of the damage. They screwed up the mounting of the stereo but it still kinda worked last night. *sigh*
